IPD dual sport exhaust for AWD V70-XC70 2000

posted by  someone claiming to be Eric on  Tue Oct 24 04:27 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Hi!

Has anybody here installed the IPD dual outlet sport exhaust on their AWD cars? I'd like getting some feedback before making the plunge and would appreciate some answers to my questions as well as different opinions on the subject.

IPD states their configuration is louder than stock.. but how loud are we talking about? Is it only audible at WOT or throughout the whole powerband? How about long trips.. audible discomfort? Is there a sweet drone like those found on V8's?

- Have you felt any increase in HP/Torque, seat of the pants speaking (that is without the ECU)?

- Is there more turbo lag? Albeit the LPT engine is configured pretty well to show absolutely no lag at all.. decent torquey engine.

- Speaking of torque, have you found a better throttle response or we're calling for sacrificing the low-end grunt for better breathing at high revs?

- How long of a job is it to install? Did the rear bumper needed to be removed?

I know I should call IPD directly to have a good idea of what I'll be expecting but I always gather other's experiences as they're invaluable in a decision-making.

Thanks in advance for sharing your comments.
